Did you know that The University of Illinois Library System is one of the leaders in digitizing public-domain books?
As a member of the Open Content Alliance,
UIUC Library is digitizing and contributing to the Internet Archive books and serials from its collections that focus on Illinois history, literature, and natural resources; rural life and agriculture; railroad history and engineering; and works in translation. UIUC Library is a member of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), which has recently joined the Google Library Project. Visit the Illinois Harvest web portal to find more digital content from the UIUC Library.
Check out the Digitized Book of the Week – an Illinois blog featuring one of those such digitized books every week.
